Staples is starting Price Matching

Staples Launches
Price Match Guarantee

With the
new Price Match Guarantee, customers are guaranteed to pay the lowest price
every time they shop, whether it’s in stores or online. Staples will price match
items sold and shipped by Amazon.com or any retailer who sells products in both
retail stores and online under the same brand. “Staples is
committed to offering great products at the best prices," said Alison Corcoran,
senior vice president of North American stores and online marketing. "Customers
will be able to shop confidently, during the holiday season and beyond, knowing
that we are providing them with all the right products and must-have gifts at
the lowest prices.” If
customers find a lower price on a new, identical item, they can show an
associate the lower price at the time of purchase in store and Staples will
automatically match the price. Effective
as of November 3, the price match guarantee was already put to the test when
Walmart announced it would sell the newly released iPad Air for $20 cheaper than
Apple’s suggested price. Staples matched this price and will continue to match
competitor’s pricing to win over sales.
